Ordered a dozen copies of my book. Web interface worked well, price was good. When received, one copy was bound upside down (cover reversed with respect to pages). The text seemed unusually faint. Che... See more

TheBookPatch went above and beyond my expectations. They are incredibly nice and put in extra time to help me.

TheBookPatch will do everything to help and are so incredibly nice! I called them because I was pretty bad at sizing my book cover and wasn't really experienced with books at all, as this was my first book. I am a teen author, and Kristylle was absolutely the nicest person I have ever worked with. She helped me immensely with the book's front, back, and spine, and it looks better than I had ever imagined! She put in so much extra time to help me out; everything worked out perfectly, and the book looks amazing! The service at TheBookPatch was absolutely exceptional and they just honestly made my day! I highly recommend the book patch!!!

Books look great

Books look great, and are good reads so far. My only slight issue was that I never received a tracking number for my order, but by the time I contacted the website about this issue, my books had already been delivered later the same day, so no big deal. It was a week from the time I ordered them to the time they arrived. Pretty decent turnaround.

I had purchased books from the company

I had purchased books from the company, was referred by a friend. However, you cant get anyone on the phone nor do they return your calls. My books have a HORRIBLE SMELL when I received them in the mail and still do. Customer service has not addressed this issue AT ALL. The ISBN was purchased the day of printing, however they were not on the book AT ALL. Just a lot of excuses.

Meticulous Paking of Books

Received the ordered books very meticulously packed to make sure they do not get bent/damages in postal transit.
It is another matter that each of the books is full of red pills and need to be read cover-to-cover!

Great company

This company helped me begin my career as an author and they are very responsive. I hope they make hardcovers soon so I can keep everything in house but otherwise 0 complaints!

Returning customers!

My wife and I created some childrens books several years ago. Everything was great, until there was some kind of update that made things extremely frustrating for us. I tried finding a comparable POD company for a few months. This added to the frustration. Fast forward about a year later and I was able to have an actual back-and-forth with customer support. The issue we originally had was fixed fairly quickly and also very easily. So, Kristylle, thank you so much for your time and effort!

Once correction was made, I was impressed with the quality of their books.

I will say up front that I was impressed by the quality of the book once we had a good copy, although I did not personally see it, my daughter did and described it as being perfect. The four stars are because the initial book sent to us had little spots on about 15 of the pages. The correction was slow and I was finally notified that it was done, but in such a weird email that at first I didn't understand they had made and shipped a corrected book until my daughter called me. I understand machines break, there is a shortage of workers and COVID messed everything up. I have another book I will be doing and do intend to use them again as putting it together was actually pretty easy.

Excellent service and support!

All dealings with The Book Patch have been positive and professional. I had a problem with one of the books that I purchased and they took care of replacement very quickly. I would recommend to all my friends and family to purchase any of their products.

First time to self publish a book and…

First time to self publish a book and couldn't ask for a better partner in the process than The Book Patch! Very prompt turn around and the quality was fantastic. If you are looking to get a book printed, look no further!

Kristylle was amazing

Full disclosure: I recently deleted a bad review, as TheBookPatch’s customer support department went way further than what I expected of them in fixing my problem.

Kristylle checked in many times to make sure my second order got to me very quickly and was super friendly. I will be reordering from TheBookPatch. Thank you to everyone there for helping to make my experience very good.

I was impress with the prompt response by the Customer support team and the genuine interest they showed in helping me resolve my situation. They really went over and beyond the call of duty to help me and I just want to publicly say thank you to The Book Patch and Kristylle my customer service ninja.

Designed and ordered Saturday, in my mailbox following Thursday!

I was able to design a simple little book of short stories written by my students on a Saturday morning, submit it for print (four copies) that afternoon, and received them in the mail the next Thursday. The books look wonderful! The kids are going to be so delighted to have a *real* book with their own writing in it. Fast service, professional results. I'm very pleased.

I look forward to working with them more

I've gotten one book printed. I received it quickly. I had a customer order a book and she got it and loved it! I did have an issue with finding where the balance due to me was but I got a very helpful email that explained it with screen shots. They did take a few days to get back to me but they explained it was because of a software issue.

I am looking forward to working with this company more. No company is going to be perfect but when they help you figure things out it makes it easier.
